Learning about the amazing undersea world is fun for the whole family at the Wildlife Conservation Society's New York Aquarium in Coney Island. We are pleased to announce the March 20 season reopening of an exciting attraction that will add a whole new dimension to our guests' Aquarium visit: Planet Earth: Shallow SeasTM 4-D Experience.
This epic 4-D adventure gives guests the opportunity to hear the power of the ocean's waves as they crash along the shoreline. "Adventurers" will feel the salty spray as they surf the coast with Atlantic bottlenose dolphins in search of food while gliding alongside a cast of balletic sea lions diving through vast swirling bait balls of anchovy. Meanwhile, aquarium-goers can track a mother humpback whale and her calf as they navigate from their tropical nursery to the Arctic Circle. And, participants will be able to experience the greatest gathering of seabirds and whales ever captured in Digital HD.
WCS's New York Aquarium's 4D Immersion Theater combines the visual drama of a 3D film with a variety of sensory effects, which are built into theater seats and the theater environment. The theater brings on-screen images to life with added effects such as water mist, a neck air blast, snow, bubbles, leg ticklers, scents, enhanced floor lighting, and seat vibrations. The experience is $6 per person, $4 for members, and reopens on March 20.
Sense the pressure, feel the perils and smell the triumph celebrating the earth as never before in Planet Earth: Shallow SeasTM 4-D Experience.
